I had been feeling a bit drawn in to reddit for the past few months before the divorce. I feel like the slower pace at which content comes out on Lemmy is good for me in that way. I can’t just scroll and scroll and scroll my entire day away.

Does anyone else feel similar?

    The only thing that somewhat bothers me is that, if I Google something 8/10 times I’ll have a reddit thread(s) as the top result. I don’t feel like giving reddit revenue or clicks though. (I do have adblock on PC and revanced on the reddit app so I try to minimise it).

    But instead of using reddit every 1hr or so for 15min, I now use reddit 1 a week maybe for 10mins.

      well they brought it on themselves. mods and users are the ones who made it what it is. Denying users third party apps is a straight spit in the face. best way is just consume their media with null telemetry and 0 shame.

      I work in IT and reddit is (and will probably remain) a huge resource for my job. So I don’t think that’s going anywhere any time soon. Not using them as my main “feed” is a huge boon though.

        Yep! Slowly we’ll eventually get rid of it. Just like any migration :)

        I’m hoping code overflow + GPT will be good enough to minimize the number of times I have to go on there…
